Roger L. Simon...

simultaneously puffs up like a rooster and gets ready for defeat next week.

Neat trick.

It's interesting that when elections go the way one likes, the people have shown wisdom. When you lose, the people have been tricked. I am not saying that Simon is alone in such a pose; kooks on the left do the same as well. I guess it's just a human weakness to blame others and refuse to take responsibility. Scratch that: it's what children do.

This boast (by Simon) was sufficiently pathetic that I was almost sympathetic:

If the Kerry does win, the mainstream media will have gotten him elected with their biased coverage and they will pay for it more than they could imagine. And it will be the blogosphere and you, our supporters, who will make them pay. Our strength will grow incremently with a Kerry victory in terms of influence and even economic power. And both will be at the expense of the mainstream media. Yes, we too have "plans."

"...make them pay...'plans' " Brave words! :)

If blogs had sound, I would expect to hear the stamping of tiny feet. Or echoes of my own adolescent cant -- Hey! when we were young and foolish I too was young and foolish! -- that we hippies presaged some sort of "revolution."

Of course maybe Roger's just satirizing blogosphere phantasy and I am just missing his wit.
